Well my numbers will be all over the place this weekend, but should settle down by Monday. I am going to reconfigure some of my rigs and take 1 or 2 down. I need to make some room for another build I have had in the works for like a year now. I am also going to rebuild one of my crunchers into a win xp box for some Sli old school gaming.

Edit: newest edition to my crunching Hardware. He runs nice a cool and that is 45 secs into the wu. Completes wu's in around 2 mins to 2 mins 20 secs.

Booted up BOINC fine the first time, started crunching, everything fine and dandy. Then I restarted BOINC to update my project preferences. Next time I boot BOINC, it gets this error when synchronising.

Yep, restart worked like a charm.
Weird, when I installed the 32 bit version, it asked for a restart, but the 64 bit didn't.

64bit is about 10% faster, so definitely use that

Also, I don't know if you did a Service Install or not (that's an option to check in the installer), but if you did not you can also crunch on your GPU, which is phenomenally fast. Like while the CPU can get ~6k PPD, the GPU can get close to three times that. It does, however, make the computer laggy, so I'd only set it to run on the GPU while the computer is not in use (at least on the main system--set it to crunch all the time on the dedicated WCG system).

That's the HD7850 from Norton, right? If it'll do a WU in two minutes...damn, that's a good 50% higher PPD than my GTX470s do. Great card!

Yeah it's a 7850 and it is averaging around 2.2 secs wu. which is twice as fast as my 6850's. And thats with the slowest phenom in my farm. I am going to put the 970 into that rig and see if the times improve.

Hmmm, yea it really seems like the AMD video cards crunch the GPU WU's much faster than the Nvidia cards.

Hey Mad Shot, if your going to sell that 6850 I would probably grab that puppy from ya for some 6850 CrossfireX.

I have a 6850 crossfirex setup myself I am holding onto them for right now as they are in my main rig which I also use for gaming. Xfired 6850's have a tad more punch to them compaired to a single 7850. Also pm sent on what we where talking about .

Had a little luck today and got a refund for something I got off eBay. Was a very long time to process so I'd almost given up hope on seeing that money back. So thought I'd go complete my computer with a 3rd and last HD7770.

11 days till my FM2 board cant wait for Dec to get the CPU. In the meantime what kind of PSU would be recommended for a 5800K and eventually a 6870 with 8GB 1866 ram and 1 SSD +1HDD and again, eventually a Blu Ray drive?
